BUSTED IN GLASGOW AND OUTLANDER LATEST WITH RICHARD RANKIN

BUSTED rolled into Glasgow yesterday for a not so secret trip ahead of their tour date at the SSE Hydro on March 23.The lads managed to fit in a wee visit to King Tuts Wah Wah Hut where they even hid a copy of vinyl for one fan to find once they’d gone - (it’s now been found to save you a trip) The lads also popped into the BBC where they have guested on Mrs Browns Boys alongside Paddy McGuinness who was also here for a flying visit. I’m so glad they are back and that I never caused any damage to them when I went paintballing with them inside the Radisson Hotel years ago. I just missed Matt Willis eye at one point. I guess I almost busted Busted.

OUTLANDER and Burnistoun star Richard Rankin is slightly worried about his next trip Stateside.The fun actor is due to appear in Portland Oregan at the Wizard World convention on February 22-24.He’s been to fan conventions before but this one has a twist.As well as going on a whisky tasting session with Outlander fans, Richard also has an axe throwing session lined up.He joked: “Mixing axe throwing and whisky is always a good idea. No one ever died doing this.”

I’m feeling musical after attending Glasgow’s Clyde college for the end of year music showcase.It was great to watch promising musicians of the future including vocalist Keira Marks, xylophonist Erin Dalrymple and saxophonist Matthew Ruddy. It’s put me in the mood for some of my own vocal lessons and I’m about to get some from the brilliant Robert Wishart who has trained up numerous Jim Diamond Award winners as well as helped Freddie Mercury tribute Gary Mullen fix issues he had with his voice.Watch out for my next performance... out of the shower.
